Sweet Air, 10th Observation-Disclosures good
nature gets the better of resolutions made under
adverse circumstances, but why should we not be
occasionally represented in your interesting col
umns? Can we not favoraby compare in thrift
ness and shrewdness with our law abiding county
neighbors, and where can a location be found
more beautifully supplied or more delightfully."-
situated? But one fault exists-the possessors of
talent knack for collecting news notes are either
too modest or engaged in other pursuits, for we
do not lack the requisite article.
Our village during the past few months has un-
dergone many changes and improvements. Since
the advent of pastor Reese to Chestnut Grove
Church, his popularity has steadily increased, and
to-day the entire community consider the choice
of the Presbyterian congregation wise and benef
cia in every respect
The members of the German Church are also
fourishing and contemplate making Improvements
to their place of worship.
Mr.. Louis Shermer has added wing to his
dwelling and filled the same with heavy stock of,
well-everything from toothpick to a wheel
barrow. This spring he contemplates a change
in the management of his valuable farm.
Postmaster Troit is giving entire satisfaction
and the neat little addition to his dwelling must
be comfort long needed.
Next is the progressing home of Mr.. Henry
Green, with its coat of we'll blended tints and
tasteful surroundings, and hear brother Henry,
has made more friends during the past season
than ever.
Messrs. Alex. M. Morrison and W. Halle have
greatly improved their attractive homes with new
fences, etc.
Our school is prospecting and when the condition
of the roads is considered, with the extremes of
temperature of the winter, the attendance is all
that could be expected. Recently, when in the
company of at least dozen matrons, whose chill
dren attend this school, and the subject under dis
cussion was the school, the petty complaints and
advantages of the pupils, was amused when the
verdict was reached that each young representa-
tive was "learning fast end making much pro-
gress, and thought the enviable "required end"
was reached, at least speaking volumes for the
teachers in charge.
Our community has keenly felt the loss sustain
ed in the death of Mrs. Morrison, wife of Alexan.
der Morrison, Esq, a lady of much culture and
refinement. And it was no less shocked in the
sudden death of Mr.. Samuel S. Patterson, whose
valuable estate was marvel of high cultivation
and whose presence was of much benefit to this
vicinity.
Of the adjoining neighborhood the spirit of
progress seems to prevail. Mr.. Samuel W. Porter
reports the season most promising. His building
engagements will tax himself and force heavily,
and others are similarly reported.
Mr.. Wesley Pocock is about commencing new
dwelling and the young ladies are wondering
when, where and whom.
Messrs. Marshall have about all they can at
tend to.
Messrs. John A. Conkling, with his customary
zeal, and G.. W. Francis about erecting large
and necessary additions to their numerous out
buildings.
Mr.. Jesse Price has greatly improved his pic
turesque homestead, and the good work goes on.
The farmers are having regular picnic cut
ting and hauling timber, burning and spreading
lime, trimming trees, building, planning and de-
nouncing the grounding.
The people in the vicinity of Mr.. Henry Knoe-
beps store are just now in much suspense and high
anticipation, awaiting the result of their petition
to the Postofice Department for the establishment
of office at that point, to be called "Knoebel."
Without doubt this is of the most desirable and
convenient situations for an office to be found for
miles around. Fully fifty immediate residents
would be accommodated, while the transient
travel to and from the city is daily increasing
Situated at the head of the Dulany's Valley turn
pike and the terminus of four distinct roads, the
advantage scarcely be imagined unless by
those who compelled to travel three miles to
the nearest office or put up with the many incon-
veniences of a star route.
The social season was full of enjoyment. Par
ties and festivities of every description were the
rule, while Cupids darts few in all directions.
l hear the nuptials of Mr.. and Mrs. Joshua
Jessop, Slade, were witnessed by large
throng of friends, who were profuse in their con-
gratulations to the happy couple.
Our district has enjoyed remarkable health,
with the exception of few serious cases, that
were restored through the aid of our worthy ply
stefan, DIR. John S. Green.
am glad to note the full recovery from recent
indispositon of Mr.. Thomas Peerce, of Dulany's
Valley.
Among those who have entered into the milk
business 1 notice Mr.. Moses I. Green is shipping
large quantities daily, at the same time attending
to his finely situated farm.
Between the two, which should receive the most
sympathy, the young person with but one fault
and that liking to be coaxed, or be who, having
profound contempt for tears, was caught she'd
ding copious salt ones and brushing them off with
a corn cob? HOWARD.
